As indicated in the program description, the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project titled "Expanding Geoarchaeology Opportunities for Underrepresented Students through Multiproxy Investigations of Human-Environmental Dynamics." The project aims to expand training opportunities for students in archaeological field and laboratory methods, with a focus on removing barriers that limit...
Archaeology Southwest received a three-year, $802,714 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA #47.075). The award will support the development of cyberinfrastructure for interdisciplinary research on households and landscapes in the ancient American Southwest. Specifically, Archaeology Southwest will create an integrated database and online mapping...
This two-year, $148,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports modeling of long-term urban and rural settlement dynamics through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant recipient will conduct archaeological and geospatial analyses to develop a predictive rural site distribution model and targeted survey of an urban hinterland in order to refine global urbanism models. Specifically, the recipient will use low-cost aerial and satellite imagery...
This $313,226 National Science Foundation project grant will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the landscape of one of the earliest cities in the United States through non-invasive archaeological techniques. The awardee, Colorado State University, will perform high-resolution magnetometry surveys covering over 5.5 square kilometers to map buried archaeological features across the entire urban landscape. This will be the largest such geophysical survey ever conducted in the Americas on...
This $268,083 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund an international research team to investigate how an ancient community adapted their social relationships and subsistence strategies to overcome disappearing water resources and increasing economic pressures during a period of early state formation. The research will analyze architectural developments, material culture production, pottery design...
This $170,710 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will fund collaborative research by Bryn Mawr College to reconstruct the landscape of one of the earliest urban centers in the United States. The researchers will conduct a high-resolution magnetometry survey covering over 5.5 square kilometers to map archaeological features below the surface. This will be the largest such survey ever performed in the...
This $181,302 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative archaeological research at the University of South Alabama from May 2022 to April 2025. The research will investigate how communities form and cultural traditions develop through migration and settlement in new ecological contexts. Researchers will examine social relationships and networks formed through the production and use of pottery in a coastal region, some by recent migrants. They will employ social network...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $248,135 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) to the University of Arkansas (UA) Fayetteville Office of Research & Sponsored Programs. This 2-year grant will support the Spatial Archaeometry Research Collaborations (SPARC) program, which is led by faculty at UA's Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies and Dartmouth's Spatial Archaeometry Lab. SPARC promotes the use of geospatial technologies, such as aerial/satellite imaging, geophysics, drone mapping, and 3D visualization, in archaeological research. The program provides access to specialized equipment, software, and expertise to enable archaeologists, especially those at under-resourced or minority-serving institutions, to integrate these transformative technologies into their work. In addition, SPARC supports educational initiatives to train the next generation of archaeologists in spatial archaeometry methods.
